Todd Strauss-Schulson’s meta send-up of ’80s sex-equals-death slasher movies keeps its goofy good humor throughout, and tosses in a little almost-genuine feeling into the mix for good measure. Read full review

Neil Genzlinger

A horror comedy that proves that with the right actors you can make an amusing movie even if a lot of your ideas are borrowed. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

Oct 8, 2015

A playful deconstruction of the slasher film that ultimately packs a surprisingly affecting punch. Read full review

It lobs a grenade at slasher-movie sadism by making us care about the characters as more than just body-bag fodder. Read full review

Strauss-Schulson brings an appropriately wacky comedic style to The Final Girls. Co-writers M.A. Fortin and Joshua John Miller have shamelessly raided the horror-movie canon, efficiently repurposing familiar references to amusing effect, without neglecting nods to Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and similar fare.

The concept carries The Final Girls cheerfully past some dry stretches, and the actors are clearly enjoying themselves, with Farmiga the only representative of humorlessness in what is admittedly the sole sincerity-load-bearing role. Read full review

As horror comedies go, this one sadly winds up somewhere between Scary Movie 4 and 5. Read full review

This movie is really really good! Definitely meets the high bar set by both Cabin in the Woods and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon in comedy-horror genre. A few actual scares (ok….well , at least, I jumped once or twice. Very original and creative use of all the standard horrorThis movie is really really good! Definitely meets the high bar set by both Cabin in the Woods and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon in comedy-horror genre. A few actual scares (ok….well , at least, I jumped once or twice. Very original and creative use of all the standard horror movie tricks (i.e., music, flashbacks, etc.) and special effects. Really don't want to say too much because the movie was so much fun to watch and laugh. I will say though: Favorite scene - Tina on Adderalll doing her strip-tease dance. Hilarious. Watch and enjoy!… Expand
